> Please don't blame yourself for this. Surely, there were things that you may have not known about this man. This may have had nothing to do with the Effexor. It may have been about a situation he felt he no longer deal with in his life. Further, even if you told him what you know, he may not have listened to you.

> The truth is that blaming yourself will not bring him back. Certainly, he would not want you to torture yourself by taking the blame for something you had nothing to do with in his life. Presently, you can use your power to empower others with knowledge about this medication.Thank you (and others) for your kind words and words of wisdom. My life is FINALLY coming together. I can post here and not cry. I can be awake during the day and have energy and motivation now to do the things I used to do. My days are now routine. I have applied for a second job outside the house (I currently manage a mobile home park from my home), my house is back in order and neat and tidy, my grocery shopping trips are organized and planed. I never thought I would find this old me again. But I am back....With avengence! I even pulled out my oil paints and painted a beautiful picture that I will frame and hang as soon as it dries. I am feeling so angry now that 7years of my life were a waste! Effexor may have helped me briefly but it surely was not worth the 7 years that I feel like I have lost. If there is ever a civil law suit against this drug, I will be first on the
list. But, that too, is behind me. I have a lot of years to make up! I have no time now to waste on the "if only" and "what might have been". Good luck to everyone going off this deamon drug and any other drug like it. Hang in there and find the real you. It's so worth it!!!
